Pros

1) Great location and office building 2) Good benefits. Team building events, volunteer activities... 3) Relatively young team. Regular senior management would be like 40-50s. Juniors are like 30s.

Cons

1) Exhibits a bureaucratic culture in its staff management approach and lacks demographic diversity. 2) People tend to form close-knit groups. If you don't align with the group's vibe, working there can be less comfortable. 3) The company operates with a fluid labor budget, often resulting in a higher tendency to lay off junior roles compared to other firms. 4) Some senior managers possess dominant personalities (wish you don't work with this type of colleagues. It will be suffocating to work and a lot of pressure), which can be intimidating. This is largely attributed to their extensive work experience and the authority they hold.
